INTRODUCTION I ask you to do only one thing when reading this book: Read it with an open mind . And by open, I mean that you will for a time suspend the notions (and as I wil l prove to you in this book propaganda) that you have been taught in school, by news magazines, and the majority of other outlets for the facts of science and his tory. In doing this, you will discover that you are like the sleepers in the movie Mat rix. You have been living a life in a dream world, where things are not as they seem. You are living in a place that has the truth hidden, substituting a series of carefully crafted lies to keep you permanently blinded, with the truth only having a chance to briefly surface from time to time. This book will be your chance to see the truth, to learn what is going on behind the scenes and the many telling facts that have been carefully hidden from your view. If you will read it with an open mind, you will be able to take the first step toward seeing what is really going on, and see the monsters behind the sce nes who are attempting to keep the truth from being revealed about them, as well as the ancient past and the ways it will effect the future.
Why must you keep an open mind as you read this? Because like most of those reading this book, you have been hoodwinked by the ed ucation establishment which by intent or by accident, has become the prime purve yor of the lies that make up the party line that keeps the truth hidden. This educ ation has been so deeply ingrained in almost every educated human being, so that responses and views are like thick sunglasses that prevent seeing in a dimly li t room. It is only by removing those glasses that one can see what s real, and in the process find the truth. Because of this conditioning and training through the educational system as well as the entertainment and news media, those hiding the truth have a very powerfu l tool: Denial. And often they dont have to employ it directly; like rats trained by electrical shock, you jump to attention and deny the truth when it s presented to you. Years of conditioning with the electric shock of scorn and derision hav e taught you to do this. You not only do the work of hiding the truth, because o f your conditioning you may even humiliate those who would bring the truth to yo u. This that will , or heir
conditioning has filtered through the educational system for centuries, so todays scientists, doctors, and historians are likewise victims to it. As I document in this book, when confronted with the truth of history, artifacts fossils, they have learned to shut out the facts from their minds through t educational conditioning.
Or if that truth is too strong to ignore, then they may hide it from site and at tempt to forget. Because if they do not, they will quickly become the object of scorn and derision from their peers, with a quick trip to unemployment as one of the kooks or nut cases that are today full of similar men who attempted to have an open mind and register their second thoughts or reservations about the dogma of lies which they had been taught. Thus denial is the first tool trotted out. It is the typical educated response whe n a researcher, newsman, or scientist is presented with anomalous evidence and f indings that dont fit neatly into the category of "containment." And likewise tod ays academia is comprised of individuals living in intellectual boxes of dishones ty.
The Time of Change Is At Hand For you and each person who will read this book with an open mind, that can chan ge. Because for over 30 years now, I have been carefully tracing, finding, sleut hing the truth. I started by investigating the origins of ancient civilizations: Their builders, their myths, their legends. Little by little what I discovered prompted and pro voked me to seek answers beyond the party line. As Henry Ford, the automotive ge nius of the last century so aptly put it, "History is more or less bunk." The Romanianborn French philosopher E. M. Cioran put it even more bluntly when he wrote, History is nothing but a procession of false absolutes, a series of templ es raised to pretexts, a degradation of the mind before the improbable. As I will show you, these men are not far off the mark (perhaps because they wer e often rubbing shoulders with those working behind the scenes to hide the truth ). As youll see, past civilizations were not the primitive collectives they ve been portrayed as being in textbooks and Hollywood. They were truly amazing, yes, ev
en breath-taking. Because far from being the crude cultures they have been pictu red as being, they held technology not only equal to todays, in many respects the y were advanced beyond modern day technology, often to the point that they defy m odern mans imagination in how they achieved their more remarkable accomplishments. Modern historians, of course, play a game of deny, deny, deny, coming up with ex planations for these accomplishments that are nearly as amazing as the artifacts they try to explain away. As you will see, the explanations and dismissals are full of holes. For there is truth to the many stories that are now denied. What you have been taught to scoff at and dismiss as myth more often than not may be truth. This is not that hard to prove, either. By simply looking at the ruins of the past, a person quickly discovers that the ancients constructed architecture that was so accurately positioned to "stellar and planetary coordinates" that only recently has modern science and computer te chnology been able to fathom the relevance of such positioning. (Indeed, some an cient constructions appear to have positioning that modern science does not yet understand.) How the ancients were able to gain such knowledge with crude tools and the margi nal math todays archeologists claim they had is impossible to explain. When not i gnoring and denying, todays "modern sciences" develop very pathetic explanations and theories. Yet these remain as facts because those scientists and researchers s eldom dare to suggest otherwise, less they find their careers at an end. Perhaps the most startling thing about the ancient wisdom and understanding whic h youll be looking at throughout this book is that the calculations and knowledge behind them was, as is the case today, dependent on computers for such computat ions. Instead, it seems entirely possible (indeed probably since instrumentation that would permit such calculations has never been found) the work was done in the heads of those creating the monuments and machinery. The conventional view of ancient peoples is that they are dumb brutes. And the f arther back in time you go, the dumber they must be for the simple reason that hum an kind is supposed to be evolving into a better, wiser beast. Yet as you ll see, the exact opposite may have taken place. Because hidden in the truth is the fact that giants not only existed, they most likely ruled and controlled lesser men due to both their physical as well as their mental superiority. Think about this: The skeletal remains of individuals up to 36 feet in height do esnt mean that giants were simply big. It also means that they were also smarter. Because with skulls (of which there are examples from South America and elsewhe re) with three to six times the cranial mass of modern day humans, those ancient beings must have had mental abilities that would make Einstein seem retarded by comparison. However, ancient people and giants arent the only ones who created the artifacts and monuments of the past. Because, as I will show later in this book, there is conclusive evidence that many of these ancient artifacts were most likely made b y non-human technology and hands. Of course such things dont fit neatly into modern thinking that todays culture is the pinnacle of mental prowess, or that todays technologies are superior to those of the past. Thus they are denied and those who consider such possibilities qui ckly laughed out of the hall in which they present their facts. Yet the truth remains: Those legends, myths, and oral traditions may not be so f
ar fetched as you have been taught, and even would prefer to think. In fact they may have at least nuggets of truth in them. That truth points back to a period of time in the dateless past when great civilizations flourished with scientific and engineering achievements (which still challenge modern intellects) were the norm. I dont want you to just take my word on this it is, after all, a hard pill to swa llow, especially after the propaganda you have been fed from the popular media a s well as the facts found in almost any science or historic textbook. Instead I si mply want you to read this book with an open mind. Do that, and I will provide y ou with enough evidence and background findings so as to challenge the official "scientific party line" and give you a set of mind-boggling exclamation points i n place of question marks you have when approaching these with only the conventi onal party line. Grant me this, and then in the next chapters I promise Ill give you the answers t o historys puzzles instead of the denial and fabrications that you have heard fro m your youth until you picked up this book (and which youll continue to hear but be able to recognize for the lies they are). Now Its time to commence the journey that will lead to this amazing revelation of the truth. Chapter 1: Creation In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of G od moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and ther e was light. Genesis 1: 1-3.
In building any case, especially one that is counter to the lies that have been given as truth over the lifetime of a reader, it is essential that the "jury" re ading the argument do so with an open mind. That said, what you read is going to at first seem outlandish but, as you continue and the premise I m offering become s fleshed out and buttressed with more and more facts, it will all fit together and make sense. So please read thoughtfully and with an open mind. Doing so will reward you with the truth I have gleaned during my studies which have encompassed several decad es. Our journey toward discovering the truth must begin with the first-hand accounts of what happened. And as youll see as I present the archeological evidence, ther es every indication that these amount to first-hand accounts of very ancient even ts. Some of these have been passed down through myths long distorted by retellin g and oral tradition, while others have come down almost verbatim from the ancie nts. While Ive examined all these sources, I have been careful to concentrate on the most accurate accounts first and then work my way back through those that ar e less accurate, but still contain gems of truth hidden in the often distorted s tory line. The most accurate of these sources can be found in the books that have been cano nized into todays Bible. The reason for this accuracy is important to note as I s tart detailing the various clues that can be pieced together. Where ancient writ ers of Greek myths, for example, freely embellished and crated new features in a ny given story, the Bible was handed down from ancient times in a very different way.
The scribes copying the various books of the Old and New Testament did so with s trict supervision and careful checking by the scribe as well as those working wi th him to avoid errors. Where many cultures rewarded the embellishment of storie s, the Jewish writers worked in the opposite direction: The stories were never t o be altered even by punctuation. Not the proverbial "jot or tittle" were change d, added, or deleted. This extreme care to avoid altering the text means that these books have come th rough time to the present age almost exactly as they were when first penned. And one can assume that the oral traditions in which some of the older stories were first seen and handed down were likewise carefully recited and memorized to avo id any changes of the story. This means that the Bible is a key source of detail that can t be found anywhere e lse. For this reason, it is the perfect place to begin the journey into the past to discover the true history and to see what really has lead to this present ag e.
In the Beginning The very first verses of the Bible give key clues that will become more and more important as this book unfolds and will bring into sharp focus what has happene d through the Earths history as well as the human history that has comprised the last six thousand years. You read that right. As Ill show later, all the evidence points to the fact that the Earth is much older than many conservative Christians who have embraced the young Earth theory would hold. It also shows that while human civilization only extends back about 6,000 years and that before that time, there was a vastly old er and more developed planet that has a history which expanded back from the 6,0 00 years during which modern man and his ancestors have existed. Perhaps the big surprise here is that it is possible to decipher this from the f irst few verses of the Bible provided a person actually sees what the original H ebrew language conveys to the reader. Unfortunately most readers of the Genesis account of creation read it in a native tongue other than Hebrew, and because of the imprecision and differences in languages, such translations lose much of th eir meaning and even allow for slight misinterpretations. In this case, reading the passage only in the English translation causes such co nfusion can all be obscure the truth of this planets past. For starters you need to realize that when God went through the creation steps o utlined in Genesis, they were a minor undertaking. Creation for human beings is a complicated and often agonizingly frustrating process. For the Heavenly Father , it is a simple task. Thus the writers of the Bible in the words they select to tell about God forming the world and universe, describe the labor as an almost casual operation, a lig ht bit of work. For example, Hebrews 11:3 makes perfect sense in this context wh en the writer tells that, Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so t hat things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
In other words, God simply spoke and worlds were created. This also alludes to t he "Word of God" that John wrote about in his gospel as well as the destroying s word that comes out of the mouth of the returning Messiah at the end of the Grea t Tribulation. This again presents the idea both of creation through arranging m aterials as well as the idea of a carpenter at work. While it seems likely that this creation involved a change of spiritual things i nto physical, it once again isnt a matter of making something from nothing. When one continues to read the Hebrews passage, it also is found that "things which a re seen were not made of things which do appear." In other words the idea presen ted is that the worlds werent created from nothingness, but rather from things wh ich can not be seen: Immaterial forces, perhaps energy or forces of which most o f mankind has no inkling.
Bara Lets see how all this applies to the Genesis account. In the first verses of the Bible, the idea of creation is conveyed by the verb bara. This Hebrew word means to create, cut down, or dispatch. The overall feel is that of working with wood (an analogy that was undoubtedly purposeful since wood also represents mankind in many Biblical passages with the fact that Jesus was a carpenter following thi s logic). The Hebrew word bara also shows that Gods creation of the world wasnt the work of creating it from nothing (as is often the mistaken notion people have); it conno tes crafting an object into a finished form. The ease that is conveyed in the pr ocess of creating the universe is unfortunately, also lost in the translation in to English. Bara suggests light work; this is reflected in Psalms 8:3 where the writer, praying to God, says, When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, wh ich thou hast ordained Notice that this passage tells that the heavens are works of God s fingers. The im plication here is that the work was done simply by moving just his fingers, with hardly any effort at all. In an age when men pride themselves in what they crea te from matter at that it isnt hard to imagine how foolish the most creative of a rtists or scientists of todays culture might appear to the living God with such c apabilities.
Beginning It should also be noted that what is translated into English as "the beginning" in Genesis 1 is the Hebrew word reshiyth which denotes the first in a series of things or the first or principle thing. Thus, there isnt a specific starting of t he heavens and the Earth, but a statement that they were part of the beginning p eriod before the creation story that comes in subsequent verses. In other words, "in the beginning" really is closer to being a "big inning" than just the point at which things started. It tells that God made the heavens and the Earth, but doesnt give an inkling as to when or how.
This idea is bolstered by the fact that when Hebrew writers wanted to note the a ctual beginning of a time, as the time of day or week when a harvest commenced f or example, the word employed was most often techillah. This word connotes an op ening or commencement. And this passage avoids the use of this word. Techillah w asnt the word Moses chose to tell about the beginning of the heavens and the Eart h. In other works, this opening passage of the Bible isnt necessarily telling abo ut the start of things as is often thought but rather denotes that a period took place during which that first state of being took place and during which God cr eated the heavens and the Earth. This may seem like hair-splitting. But it has important ramifications, because i t points to the idea that other events may have taken place before or during thi s beginning period, perhaps even outside the realm of time and space as most peo ple know them. "In the beginning" was a period different from the subsequent eve nts that come afterward in the rest of the Bible and may very well span a period of time many times longer than the time man has been on the Earth. The mind-boggling complexity of this situation is reflected in the phenomenal lo gic of the beginning in the Gospel of John: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. The parallels between these two views are interesting. But what about the "begin ning" used by John? Being in the Greek, it presents a good opportunity to see ho w the New Testament writers viewed the idea of the first verse of Genesis as wel l. How does the Greek word John chose for "beginning" compare to that of the Heb rew? The word chosen was arche. As can be seen, this is the same word that "arch" com es from and indicates not simply a beginning but a chief period of time, with th e idea of a rulers span of power behind it as well. Johns "In the beginning" also conveys the idea of a period of time, not the commencement or creation of things . The word translated into English as "made" in this passage is ginomai. This word conveys the idea of causing something to become something else or to assemble s omething into a whole. So, here again the idea is not of God (through Jesus Chri st) creating the universe from nothing but rather assembling and forming it into a whole, much as a potter might form a pot or a carpenter frame and build a hou se. A similar idea of the universe was conveyed by the ancient Greeks. Their word co smos which is often translated to mean "world" or even universe, actually sugges ts a creation that is fabricated from other materials, becoming polished or ador ned as it is fashioned; the word doesnt suggest something created from scratch. Only during recent times has the notion that the Genesis passage here refers to the creation of the Earth from nothing caught on among theologians.
Cosmos to Chaos With the realization that God created the heavens and Earth almost effortlessly
and that verse one and two of the first chapter of the Bible aren t connected clos ely in time comes another revelation when the Hebrew wording of verse 2 is explo red. In the English translation, the tiny Hebrew word waw is translated "and". In the English translation, verse two starts out as if it has been coupled to verse on e: "And the Earth was without form and void" However, waw doesnt necessarily always mean "and." It can also mean "but." The "a nd" was chosen simply because the translators felt it fit well there when readin g it in the context of the two verses going together. What happens if the translators were wrong? When you substitute "but" in the passage, a different possibility can be seen. I f the first verse marks a period during which the heavens and the Earth were cre ated, and the second verse marks a second period, then the reading of that secon d verse as "But the Earth was without form or void," takes on a different meanin g. This alternate reader with "but" suggests that even though God had created the h eavens and the Earth in a perfect form during the previous period (as described in verse one), an event took place before verse 2 that has caused the world to b ecome chaotic. It can then be seen that something has changed, and that while th is is a beginning for the saga of mankind, there was in every likelihood a previ ous existence of some sort. What came before the "in the beginning" then? Is it possible to decipher what wa s before the first verses of the Bible? In truth the answers to both are there to be found. But first it is necessary to dissect this first verse a bit more.
In the Beginning? If the Earth was formed earlier, then what exactly does "in the beginning" mean? In the English translation the phrase seems straightforward; it means beginning at the first. But the Hebrew again conveys a lot more than just that. When you study books written by Bible scholars, you realize that the phrase is m uch more complex than it might otherwise appear. In fact almost any commentary y ou pick up reveals that the scholar has struggled with what the phrase means or, in the case of translators, exactly what should be conveyed. This comes about b ecause of the original Hebrew compound word used in this phrase: be-reshith). The noun reshith always needs a modifier in order for its actual meaning to be s een. It can mean "beginning" but often it means something more akin to "previous ly" in English. For example in Job 42:12, So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning [reshith]. To read this as the actual beginning of Job makes no sense. It obviously isn t tal king about his conception or birth (at least unless one makes one very tortured argument for such), but it is obvious from the story that reshith is referring t o the beginning of the story covered in the book of Job, prior to the misfortuna
te that Satan brought to the ancient saint. Another such instance of the use of reshith can be found in Proverbs 8:22, where Wisdom tells the reader, The LORD possessed me in the beginning [reshith] of his way, before his works of old. Proverbs chapter 8 is considered a christophany of Jesus Christ appearing in the Old Testament Wisdom is the person of Jesus who made man in his image. That asi de that if one assumes that reshith means "beginning" here, it must also be assu med that God also had a beginning. Since it is a basic premise of the Bible that the Lord has no real beginning or end but is eternal, one must therefore assume that the beginning before his works means simply before what can be seen in thi s age was created, not before God. It is also important to note that reshith is not the only word for "beginning" i n Hebrew. And that when a true beginning is implied (such as Psalm 102:25), a di fferent word is employed. What this means is that "in the beginning" in Genesis 1 can be seen to mean not in the beginning of all time and things, but rather the start of (for human bein gs) the current frame of history. Thus the Earth was molded and reformed at a sp ecific time. But formed from what?
Something from Something Undoubtedly the Universe itself was created by God. But this does not mean that this original event was anywhere close chronologically to the current world of t oday (or even that time flows in the same way as it now does, for that matter). A close reading of the Bible supports this idea. For example Hebrews 11: 3 tells, Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so t hat things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. This explains that the worlds were framed not from nothing, but rather (if this negative statement "not made" is unwrapped) made of invisible things. In other w ords reformed from some past materials. Looking at the Genesis 1 passage, a similar idea is represented. The Hebrew word translated as "made" is asah This word is employed for appointing or designatin g things. For example elsewhere the word is employed when judges are appointed, when refuge cities are designated, or when evils are cataloged. The judges, citi es, and evils werent being created. Rather they were being appointed or modified to a new task. Likewise it can be seen that when God "made" the Heavens and the Earth, he wasn t so much creating them from scratch as he was reforming and appointing them to a new task, that of a home for the new creatures and plants which he would populat e it with as well as mankind.
Its interesting that the passage also hints as to what the past world that was re formed into the modern Earth had become before this re-creation. Because the "wa s without form and void" can just as easily be translated from the Hebrew to rea d "had become without form or void." This suggests that some cataclysmic event h as taken place, causing the old world to be totally wasted and uninhabitable. It should also be noted that many scholars suggest that there may be a grand "pa use" between the first clause of Genesis 1 and the second half. Thus the first h alf points toward the actual creation of a perfect work, with the second telling that it had later become corrupt. This reading results in this: In the beginning got created the Heavens and the Earth. But [eventually much late r] the Earth was without form, and void. In fact this supposition is sustained in the original Hebrew through the use of the verb hayah (was). Hebrew doesnt employ "to be" unless it is necessary to deno te a changing condition. This is shown in many translations such as the King Jam es Bible where missing verbs which have been added by translators are in italics . Thus when you read something like "the Earth was without form, and void" you c an tell whether the Hebrew writer was telling the reader that the Earth simply w as that way or had become that way. And if you look at a translation that conforms to these conventions, you ll discov er that this is taking place in this passage with the verb hayah (was). In Genes is 1:2 the first "was" is ordinary type, meaning that it has come or has recentl y been transformed into a void, formlessness. The shows that it wasn t created thi s way, but rather than something terrible transformed it into this condition, an d one that God was not satisfied with and, thankfully, would soon transform into the current Earth. This is not the only argument for this, however. Because the normal order for th e Hebrew sentence is conjunction, verb, subject object. This pattern is altered to given more power to a fact or otherwise make a point to the reader. And this re-ordering of words to create such emphasis can be found in Genesis 1: 2 to mean "had become" (for those familiar with languages, this is given in the pluperfect form). Thus it is apparent that the original creation which had been perfect had become desolate and void. Why was the Earth this way? In fact there are also clues in this passage that he lp answer this question as well. The Hebrew word tohuw is translated as "without form." This word appears elsewhe re in the Bible and takes on some finer associations and meanings including form lessness, confusion, unreality, and emptiness. It also is associated with the un real as with an idol as well as wasteland and solitary wilderness. In its adverb form, tohuw means "wastefully" or "in vain" (points that will become important later in this book). Thus while the word used here means primarily a wasteland, there are undercurren ts and hints of idolatry, pride, and sin through the choice of this word. This i s further reinforced by the "and void" phrase. The Hebrew word bohuw is generally employed throughout the Bible in connection w ith the desolation of a city or nation. It also connotes an undercurrent of judg ment from God (as in Isaiah 34:11 where the Lords judgment results in the desolat
ion). Thus when the Earth was "void" (bohuw) it was desolate. That this is a judgment from God is further bolstered by the idea that darkness is upon the face of the Earth, since this is associated with evil in the Bible while God is associated w ith light. Thus the "without form, and void" suggests not just physical desolation but spir itual a well, a point that will become very important as the story of ancient hi story is revealed.
Darkness Upon the Face of the Earth The Hebrew word, choshek, employed for darkness in this passage also offers clue s. Because this word not only means the absence of light, but rather a word that denotes an unnatural darkness (such as was seen during the plague of darkness w hich fell upon Egypt in Exodus 10:21). This argues that the darkness was more th an the simple absence of light, or simply nighttime (the Hebrew word layilah). "The deep" (tehom) further reinforces this feeling that things are under judgmen t. While this word is often associated with the sea or deep water, it has other shades of meaning as well, including the abyss and the grave. Thus tehom is empl oyed in Genesis 7:11 where it is translated as "the great waters" of Noah's Floo d and in Psalm 36:6 as "a great deep" associated with the Lord s judgment. The deep does refer to the ocean. But it also is symbolic of a judgment against wrong doing and bolsters the overall feel that things are not right in creation as the opening passage of Genesis unfolds. Furthermore the Greek equivalent of this word forms the "abyss" associated with the punishment reserved for Satan, the Great Serpent, and the Dragon a point tha t will take on more importance throughout this book. In the ancient Greek versio n of the Old Testament, Jewish translators substituted the word abussos for the deep. This Greek word becomes "abyss" in English, a word often signifying Hades or Hell. Abussos was also the word John used in Revelation (9:11, 11:7, 17:8 and 20:1-3) for the final punishment and resting place for Satan and the evil Drago n. It is not unreasonable, then, to see "the deep" in Genesis signifying something greater than simply deep water.
Let There Be Light The "Let there be light" phrase in the opening chapter of Genesis does not appea r to be a creative act when one studies the Hebrew words and their usage here. I nstead, the Hebrew words suggest that the light was made to appear or made visib le (most likely this is written from the viewpoint of someone on Earth). This fi ts well with the scientific ideas of today; the universe of stars, sun and moon were thus, created during the "in the beginning" period but not visible on the E arth, due to the darkness that apparently enveloped it. This also explains why the Earth could be in existence during a long span of tim e without there being days and nights on its surface. For some reason (a thick c loud cover, perhaps) daylight didnt reach the surface of the planet. This, in tur
n, suggests that something evil might very well have changed the planet for the worse, if the darkness/evil idea is stretched just a bit. Only when God was preparing to create man and living organisms on the face of th e planet did he make days and nights appear on its surface. Time didn t start with the first day on Earth; but the separation of day and night on the surface of t he planet made it possible to tell time as the first days started rolling around , marking Gods creation of life on the planet. There may be greater significance to these first days, however, because Moses em ployed the word combination that emphasizes the "to be" of the situation. In oth er words, this first day on Earth "had become" the first day. The evening and mo rning "were" the first day, to be followed by six more with very specific creati ons and a first Sabbath. It should also be noted that the Hebrew word yom is employed in the first chapte r of Genesis to mark each day in the account. As such, it can only be read to me an a 24-hour period. Had God aimed to convey a geological age, Moses undoubtedly would have employed the word olam which means an age or period of unspecified ti me. While yom can be used to signify a longer period of time in a prophetic sense, i t isnt utilized in this manner in Genesis and Biblical writers employing it to me an anything other than a day take pains to make note of the fact so there is no confusion. Likewise, when yom is employed with a specific number, it is always s ignifying a 24-hour period. It would appear, then, that Moses (arguably writing under the inspiration of God) meant these periods of time to be interpreted as n ormal, 24-hour days, not epochs of time. Furthermore, if these days were geological ages (as some suggest in an effort to get Evolution to dovetail with Genesis), there is an immediate problem, because then there are days that must last so long one side of the planet is baked whil e nights last for thousands, if not millions, of years. Life which is for the most part interdependent on other life forms for its conti nued existence would quickly vanish under such conditions. Plants that need to b e pollinated being created thousands or millions of years before bees come onto the scene, for example, is not a viable model. Additionally, Adam and Eve would have to live for thousands, if not millions, of years (through the seventh day) before they could be cast out of the Garden of Eden. Since Adam dies at an age o f 930 years (in Genesis 5:5), its impossible to bend the truth to fit the need of Evolution. While one might do mental gymnastics in an effort to somehow explain all this aw ay, it makes more sense to simply assume that Moses penned the words the way the events actually happened. There is no need to "read into" the passage to make i t work. All that is necessary is to believe in a God powerful enough to work mir acles. Furthermore, this reading of the past is not disproven by fossil records or the like. Because its not only possible but almost a certainty that pre-historic, pre -Adamic life was on Earth before the Genesis 1:2 reforming of an Earth that had become formless and void. If anything, fossils buttress this reading of the Gene sis account with its re-creation of the creatures that now inhabit it and the va nishing of vast hordes of creatures such as the dinosaurs. Finally, this explanation fits perfectly with Biblical history which begins abou t 6,000 years ago precisely when Adam and Eve would have been created if one fig ures back from now through the ages of various characters listed in the genealog ies of the Bible. This is easily explained if mankind were created at that point
. It is nearly impossible to explain if one assumes that mankind had evolved and then, suddenly, abruptly, and from one place, develops writing, metallurgy, and so forth. As historian and Jewish scholar Noson Weisz put it: About six thousand years ago, seemingly out of nowhere there is a record of a re markable change in this stable Stone Age pattern of human remains in one particu lar area of the planet, Mesopotamia. Overnight in terms of historic time, we hav e the development of sophisticated architecture, advanced pottery, organized agr iculture, the rise of major population centers akin to cities, the appearance of metallic weapons and ornaments, the development of writing and records, the app earance of sophisticated political structures and empires, traces of complex rel igions and the ceremonies associated with them. The archeological record shows the spread of these trappings of advanced civiliz ation from this one spot to the rest of the world in gradual stages. Thus the gr eat leap forward was restricted to a single location and came out of nowhere. This sudden explosion of knowledge and ability makes no sense unless were looking at a new creature that has suddenly come onto the scene. A creature of unbeliev able intelligence, who is able to make profound leaps in technology. Then the li ne of history from 6,000 years ago to today makes perfect sense.
Marduk It is interesting to see how other cultures that lacked the Hebrew technique of double-checking and carefully copying ancient stories have also had renditions o f the same Genesis creation, warped, altered, and distorted through verbal chang es distortions. While these often take outlandish forms on their face, careful e xamination reveals that they seem to have come from the same origins as those of the Bible. A good example of this is the Babylonian story of creation. In this story a new world is created from a chaotic ancient time. The God of Order, Marduk, battles with the powerful Goddess of Chaos, Tiamat. During their battle to the death, Ma rduk seizes the goddess Tiamat in a giant net and then skewers her with his swor d, splitting her body into two halves. One half of the goddess becomes Heaven and the other an abyss of water which the Earth is hung upon. Now notice: The goddess is associated with chaos and the abyss. Thus the god of order reforms her into a new, more ordered Earth. Not only that; her name, "Tiam at" is believed by many scholars to be related to the Hebrew word tohuw translat ed "without form." Likewise again the abyss/deep is associated not just with wat er but also judgment and punishment. There are also links between the Biblical view that associates the abyss with Sa tans punishment. In some ancient Babylonian tablets Tiamat is referred to as "the Great Serpent." Assyrian traditions have Tiamat dwelling in the sea with a kindred demon, Bahu, a being that brings disorder. What is interesting is that the demon s name is almo
st certainly related to the Hebrew word bohu found in Genesis 1:2. Thus these an cient myths appear to be reflections of an original story only hinted at by the first chapter of Genesis, even though the Hebrew passage far antedates the much later cuneiform texts in which the Assyrian and Babylonian stories have been fou nd. Likewise other ancient myths display the same sort of stories which occur over a nd over, with various deities having components or even the form of a serpent. T he oldest deities of the Sumerians were all serpents or dragons of one sort or a nother with the serpent of the subterranean waters (again notice the abyss/deep connotations) being called Zu (and having an almost direct link to the Hebrew "L eviathan," a dragon-like creature). Again and again stories appear of a serpent representing primordial chaos from which an ordered world is formed. In the Sumerian myths, the great serpent Zu, a universal watery chaos which is t he originator of all life, is divided to become twin serpents. One becomes Anzu which lives in the constellation Orion, while the other half becomes his mate, K i the Queen of the abyss. Again theres the theme of a powerful being in Heaven, a nd a dragon that is associated with the Abyss. Perhaps equally thought-provoking is the fact that the Bible seems to be hinting at the same story in other passages. For example Amos 5: 7-9 reads: Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name: That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall co me against the fortress. Notice that the Lord is associated with the creation of Orion, that darkness, de ath, and punishment are also covered as well as the "waters of the sea" which we v e seen can be associated with the Abyss. This passage suggests that those hearin g it might have been familiar with stories not recorded in the Bible, and which might have become part of the distorted tales of Marduk and Tiamat Likewise there are hints of this story in Job (which many consider to be one of the oldest books of the Bible). In Job 9: 9-10, [The Lord] which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the so uth. Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number. Although one might suggest that this conjunction of the sea and Orion is happens tance, it actually happens several times in Job suggesting there s more to this. I n Job 38: 5-31 the Lord speaks to Job about the creation of the Earth. Notice th at the depths of the sea, light and darkness, as well as Orion are again part of the associations here. The Lord spoke: Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or w ho laid the corner stone thereof; when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swa
ddlingband for it, and brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, and said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud wa ves be stayed? Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked mi ght be shaken out of it? It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a g arment. And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken. Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death? Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all. Wh ere is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place the reof, That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof? Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great? Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasure s of the hail, which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the da y of battle and war? By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth? Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the l ightning of thunder; to cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the w ilderness, wherein there is no man; to satisfy the desolate and waste ground; an d to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew? Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. Canst th ou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? As one reads these passages it becomes apparent that the Bible is both hinting a t the stories that came to be myths in other religions and also that it s perhaps mocking them. This also suggests that ancient man knew these stories which in th e case of these other cultures was undoubtedly altered and distorted over time t o become the mythology seen today. The trick is sorting out the truth from the distortions. This is hard but not to tally impossible to do as well be demonstrated later in this book. In the meantime it is important to note that these common but lost stories manif est themselves in many different and far removed cultures. For example myths reg arding dragons and deities that have components of dragons can be seen in very d ifferent and separated cultures all around the world from China to Central and S outh America; from Celtic peoples in Europe to the ancient Egyptians and Babylon ians. Suffice to say for now that the Hebrew story of creation can not be viewed as an isolated account known only to the ancient Jews. Rather it a story that has bee n mimicked and copied by very many other cultures, some of which could not have seen the Hebrew writings before developing their own versions of the basic story (and which were likewise not available to Jewish writers). That stories with si milar elements sprang up in very different cultures around the world suggests th
at these stories have a common origin, with the Biblical account arguably the mo st accurate due to the unique pains that were taken in keeping the stories true to the original. As well see in a moment, the story as well as the clues given by other cultural v ersions of it, are key to understanding the truth about the ancient past as well as events that are being lied about and hidden today. Even writers such as Zechariah Sitchin and others assume that the myths precede the Bible, when all historic evidence suggest that mythology was, and is, a dist ortion of the truth of the scripture!
The Forming of the Current Earth Through a careful study of the first few verses of Genesis, several things becom e apparent, then. First, the universe could be very, very old. A lot could have happened during that time for the creation of the human race from the time of Ad am until today roughly 6,000 years. It is also important to note that when the Bible refers to the "Earth," it is re ferring to the reformed Earth mankind presently inhabits, not the previous body that became without form or void. This must be kept in mind, otherwise one gets into some weird theology with verses like Romans 5:12: Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin. This "world" of course is todays present world, not its pre-existent form. To rea d it otherwise would have Adams sin bringing death to the previous age before he sinned. Obviously this can not be correct and therefore it is important to keep in mind that basically the reformed Earth is a new world in the sight of God. Thus the high point of the current, early history was the creation of mankind in a perfect, sinless state. Genesis 1: 25-26 proclaims: And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that i t was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, a nd over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that c reepeth upon the earth. Later, in Genesis 5:1, the fact that man has been created in the image of God is again emphasized: This is the book of the generations of Adam, on the day the Lord created mankind , in the likeness of the Lord He made him. The Hebrew word for "image" in all these passages is tzelem, a word derived from the word tzel, meaning "shadow" or "reflection." The word "likeness" in these v erses is demus; this word is derived from domeh, meaning "similar." Human beings are not "little gods" or duplicates of a God that has no body nor form. But the
y are similar in their mastery of the spiritual and physical dimensions of the M aker. This is an important point, as will later be detailed in this book. Mankind was made in the image of God. This begs the question of whether there are beings tha t are not created in Gods image, or if that image can be defaced, profaned, or ge netically altered! The terrifying answer to both these questions appears to be " yes." And the ramifications imperil modern man in many ways, making it essential that you learn to distinguish between the lies you have been taught and the tru th that will be presented throughout this book. But before you see how this defacement of Gods image has and is taking place, you must see why it comes about and who is behind it. To do that it is necessary to travel into the distant past, using the key secrets and hidden clues that will serve as stepping stones to that past. So it is time for you to begin that journey to see just what came before the cre ation of this present Earth, what most likely lead to the "without form and void " state that resulted, and how that earlier, condemned age has invaded the prese nt time and is, in fact, behind many of the falsehoods that have concealed the t ruth from you.
